Abstract: The present invention relates to a modified polyaryletherketone polymer (PAEK) with chemically modified surfaces with azides, alkynes, thiols, maleimides, sulfonylazides or thio acids, suitable for “click” reactions and to a process to obtain it. It also relates to the conjugated biomaterials derived thereof, PAEK type materials with surfaces modified with a RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) and/or OGP10-14 (Tyr-Gly-Phe-Gly-Gly) peptidomimetics and to a process to obtain it. These materials are particularly useful for manufacturing medical devices. Finally, the present invention also relates to a fluorescent PAEK material.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds, containing a central 1,4,5-trisubstituted 1,2,3-triazole core and a reactive appendage appropriate to form covalent “click” bonds on the surface of materials functionalized with reactive groups including: azide, terminal alkyne, cyclooctalkyne, thiol, maleimide or thiolacid groups. These compound are nonpeptide mimetics of RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) and/or, OGP10-14 (Tyr-Gly-Phe-Gly-Gly), osteogenic peptides. Also, the present invention relates to a process for the preparation of the compounds containing a 1,4,5-trisubstituted 1,2,3-triazole core. These compounds are particularly useful for medical devices, in particular implants and tissue engineering and cell culture matrices.

Abstract: Cyclotetrapeptides of formula (I) or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, cyclo[Arg-Asp-(beta-Lactam)] (I) wherein (beta-Lactam) is a biradical of the formula (II) wherein the terminal NH group of the (beta-Lactam) is attached to the ?-carbonyl group of the aspartic residue (Asp), and the terminal carbonyl group of the (beta-Lactam) is attached to the ?-amino group the arginine residue (Arg); processes for their preparation, and pharmaceutical compositions containing them, as well as their use in human and animal therapy.
